COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThe Fürstenberg Premium Pilsner, one of only a handful of "Premium" designated premium beers in Germany and long thought to be the first German Pilsner brewed in accordance to the Czech Pilsner method has an alcohol % of 4.8.
Water is actually taken from the source of the Danube river deep in the Black Forest!

Aroma reminiscent of papayas, bananas etc. Pours a mellow yellow with a small head. Flavour is quite dry and biscuity. Slightly warming too, impressive for a pils. This is all around one of the best pilsners I’ve tasted.

From the Can: Pours pale yellow with foamy white head that has a decent retension till about halfway or a bit better.
Grassy aroma
Taste is sweet and grainy somewhat carbonated with a metallic slightly bitter aftertaste.

Grainy malts and leafy green hops in the nose. Clear plae gold with shy, white, fully-diminishing head. Sweet, mild, grainy flavour is lightly bitter towards the finish, but doesn’t have the crispness one would expect from a top-notch pils. Light body is somewhat fizzy and watery. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.

(bottle) Clear body with a pale golden colour and an average frothy white head. Harsh strawy malty aroma with a tinge of grassy hops in the background. Light sweet flavour, malty taste with a bitterdry hoppy finish. Thin texture but fizzy carbonated. Rather unpleasant and decent.

Sample from can at the Mondial. Very, very, very...ok, extremely pale, lots of bubbles, no head to mention...dry herbal nose, faint but reasonably fresh...fairly bitter, dry body throughout, just enough honey sweetness to keep it drinkable but without enough malt to make it interesting.
